A Soft Sensor for Bleeding Detection in Colonoscopies

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Medical Robotics In article number 2100254, Sheila Russo and co-workers introduce a soft sensor for blood detection during colonoscopies. In colonoscopy procedures, surgeons can only visualize bleeding at the distal end of the colonoscope with the integrated camera. The sensor, based on soft optical technology, can detect accidental bleeding in real-time throughout the length of the patient's colon, enhancing the safety of the procedure.
